and to attack the towers of new york city, i can share with all due respect to our intelligence if al qaeda wanted to attack the towers but they chose to attack in the u.s. in washington d.c. to send a message. so for that i hope the united states whoever is elected will take a decision to stop the nuclear race today. something very interesting when you look at the arab leaders they are afraid from iran becoming nuclear so for that matter i think we would like to take action for the u.s. to sit idly by israel has to do it by itself. missiles fly in from iran, lebanon, and gaza would send hundreds of missiles but allowing iran to become nuclear to the option of fighting ourself, it is clear message of what to do with the redoubt the u.s. one of the main points of my book is the issue of the two-state solution. you must finish the conflict and it will be a palestinian state if obama adopted the approach to build up the palestinian state but in my book i prefer a new paradigm we have tried it for the last 20 years we tried with gaza and it did not help us as well. it should be a three st

>> i think for the foreseeable future, yes. now, ohio is not growing as fast as other states which means our electoral college weight is going to decline over time. we lost two congressional seats in the most reapportionment of congressional seats. and that will probably continue to happen as there is more rapid growth elsewhere than there is in ohio. we're kind of stable, population wise. where the sunbelt states tend to be growing, although the recession has hurt them in terms of their growth. so as long as we are significant in the electoral college and particularly as long as we're competitive, we will be a battleground state. candidates will be coming here, they will be saying i have to win ohio if i'm going to win the presidency. i think both of the candidates are saying they have to win ohio, they will spend a lot of money here and be here a lot. >> for more or information on booktv's recent visit to columbus, ohio, and other cities on c-span's local content vehicle tour, visit c-span.org/localcontent. >> david wessel re
